Pictures are a really good idea.   I am terrible with names, as are a lot
of slightly spectral IETFers, and being able to practice the association of
a name to a face would be _really_ helpful.   I actually had a long
conversation about this over dinner with several other IETFers in BA, and
it turned out that we all had the same problem.

The problem with a jabber "hallway" is that it's not quite what you want:
IETF hallway conversations don't broadcast to all of the conference
attendees all of the time.   Simply being available on jabber to IETF
members probably accomplishes what hall conversations normally accomplish,
except for the model of walking up to a clump of IETFers one of whom you
need to talk to, and winding up talking to the rest as well.

I can easily imagine simulating hallway conversations if we all had VR
googles (and it would be very Snow Crash as well) but in practice I don't
think we are really there yet.
